by Stefanie Behnke

ACM Symposium on Applied Perception 2013 - SAP 2013 <https://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/SAP2013/index.shtml> https://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/SAP2013/index.shtml Conference: 22nd-23rd of August 2013 Location: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Paper submission: 6th of May 2013 Dear Madam, Sir, Author(s), We invite submissions of original work in all areas of applied perception to the 2013 edition of the Symposium on Applied Perception to be held in Dublin this August. The strongest accepted papers will be offered publication as full papers in the ACM journal Transaction on Applied Perception. See below for the full Call for Paper. Best regards ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPER The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP), formerly known as APGV, aims to advance and promote research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas. The scope of the conference includes applications and algorithms in any area of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science. Our tenth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. We will hold the ACM SAP 2013 conference immediately prior to the 36th annual European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) that will take place in Bremen, Germany, from August 25th to August 29th. We aim to further promote communication between the core perception and computer graphics communities, and also bring back the symposium in its new form to Europe. The symposium will be hosted by Trinity College in Dublin. We invite submissions of original work in all areas of applied perception. Relevant areas include: . Modeling, rendering, and animation . Visualization . Computational aesthetics . Haptic rendering, haptic input and perception . Computer vision . Color vision and color appearance modeling . Interaction techniques and interfaces . Augmented reality . Virtual worlds . Display technologies . Auditory display and interfaces . Perceptual auditory coding . Spatialized sound . Speech synthesis and recognition . Sensory integration . Multimodal rendering . Spatial and temporal vision . Empirical perception research . Attention and eye movements . Statistical learning and perception of natural scenes . Perception of shapes, surfaces and materials PAPERS Research can be submitted as a long paper (up to 8 pages and a 20 minute talk), a short paper (up to 4 pages and a 15 minute talk), or as a poster presentation (1 page abstract). Papers that are not accepted will be considered for the poster session. Authors of posters accepted by this route will, of course, have the option to decline the opportunity to present a poster. Please check the <https://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/SAP2013/guidelines.html> formatting guidelines before submitting your work on this page. Submissions do not need to be anonymous. POSTERS A poster presentation is an opportunity for authors to display and discuss achievements that are not ready for publication or have not been published previously. The poster session is always an integral part of SAP with specific time allotted for participants to view and discuss the work. All poster presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward session. Poster presentations are not formal publications. We encourage all types of poster submissions. Poster abstract submissions should be no more than one page in length and should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. FURTHER DETAILS All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program Committee. Papers will be evaluated as submitted, given limited time between submission and printing of final versions. Under a recent agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be offered publication as full papers in the ACM journal TAP. These papers will undergo a second review cycle, during which the authors will revise the paper to address concerns posed in the summary review (similar to conditional acceptances at ACM SIGGRAPH). Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been the case, authors of regular ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions.

by Stefanie Behnke

Dear Colleagues, this is a kind reminder for the quick approaching deadline for the Short Paper and Workshop submissions for . EuroVis 2013 Short Paper Track . EnvirVis: Visualization in Environmental Sciences . EuroRVVV: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in Visualization . VAMP 2013: Visual Analytics using Multidimensional Projections . VMLS 2013: Visualization in Medicine and Life Sciences . EuroVA 2013: Fourth International EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics All initial submissions are due on *** March 8, 2013 *** Details can be found on the conference website - <http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/call-short-papers> http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/call-short-papers and the websites of the co-located events: - <http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/workshops> http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/workshops *** EuroVis - Short Papers *** For the second time, EuroVis 2013 features a short paper track. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be 4 pages (at most), excluding references, and 5 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference. EuroVis 2013 will be held in Leipzig, Germany, June 17-21, 2013. Important Dates for All Submissions: . Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013 . Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2013 . Camera-ready Deadline: May 3, 2013 . Conference and workshop will take place: June 17-21, 2013 A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant -- scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers: . A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation). . An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation. . An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system. . A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand limitations. . A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation). . A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology). All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book.

Postdoctoral Position in Computer Vision Analysis of Growing Plants at U. C. Davis, California, USA

by Stefanie Behnke

Postdoctoral Position in Computer Vision Analysis of Growing Plants at U. C. Davis, California, USA We have a Postdoctoral scholar position in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis CA, USA, for a researcher in computer vision, image processing, image segmentation, or shape matching, to work on a project to understand the growth of tomato plants. The work includes multi-view stereo reconstruction, registration and joint analysis of multi-view stereo, thermal, and "pushbroom" multispectral imagery of growing plants, feature tracking in Micro Computed Tomography images of growing plant meristems, and developing models of plant growth, as well as helping to mentor two graduate students doing this research. The position is for 12 months, with a possible extension for up to 3 more months, and could start anytime in the calendar year 2013. Appointment as a postdoctoral scholar requires a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D.) or foreign equivalent (in this case, in Computer Science or a related filed such as Electrical Engineering or Mathematics). To apply, e-mail a CV to Nelson Max <mailto:max@cs.ucdavis.edu> <max(a)cs.ucdavis.edu>. The abstract of our funded project is included below. "In the near future, population increases combined with climate change are expected to place unprecedented demands on agriculture. Droughts are predicted to become more prevalent, nitrogen and phosphorous will become limiting, and saline environments may be accessed as arable land becomes depleted. Developing crop varieties to cope with such stresses under unpredictable climate conditions will require a nuanced understanding of genetic responses to environmental changes. Additionally, valuable water and fertilizer must be efficiently triaged to those plants facing the greatest deficit of resources. In this project, we will study responses to drought, salinity, and nitrogen and phosphorous deprivation in tomato, the second most valuable vegetable crop in California and worldwide. We will use RNA expression profiling to identify those genes most responsive to environmental stresses not only in domesticated tomato, but also its wild relatives, which may harbor sensitized responses to environmental change. We will develop high throughput methods to measure biochemical markers of stress, including remote multi-spectral sensing, thermal imaging, and stereo reconstruction. Additionally, we will analyze changes in the development and morphology of organs using Micro Computed Tomography to image the meristem and observe changes in leaves from their inception. We will direct our understanding of stress response towards the creation of genetically engineered tomato varieties that, from the outset of specific stresses, will visibly express a reporter, changing the color or structure of the plant. Such sentinel plants will allow the application of water and fertilizer as needed, rather than broadcasting these resources on potentially wasteful schedules."
